The Chapel Meeting House Event Series will present an evening of family entertainment, with a “Taiko Thunderdrums” performance by Odaiko New England, on Saturday, Sept. 25, 7-9 p.m. at the Cocasset River Recreation Area (CRRA), 68 Mill St., Foxborough.

Seating begins at 6:30 p.m., and refreshments will be available.

Odaiko New England performance weaves the traditional elements of Japanese taiko (drumming) with contemporary influences to create a constantly evolving and dynamic art form. The deep and powerful beat of the drums combined with energetic movement is a unique experience that can be felt as much as seen and heard. The opening will be presented by “A Different Spin.”

All proceeds will support the CRRA Hiking and Nature Trail project.

Advance registration is recommended. Tickets cost for $8 adults, $5 FOCSA members, seniors and students, $25 for families up to five members. All tickets at the door, $10.

In the event of rain, the performance will be held at Taylor School gym, 196 South St., Foxborough.

The Friends of Camp St. Augustine is an all volunteer, non-profit organization that supports the Foxboro Recreation Department with the stewardship, funding, programming, promotion and utilization of Cocasset River Recreation Area, an open space, recreational property located at 68 Mill St., Foxborough.
